Fix an arbitrary finite group A of order a, and let X(n, q) denote the set of homomorphisms from A to the finite general linear group GLn(q). The size of X(n, q) is a polynomial in q. In this note, it is shown that generically this polynomial has degree n2(1 – a−1) − εr and leading coefficient mr, where εr and mr are constants depending only on r := n mod a. We also present an algorithm for explicitly determining these constants.
